Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 695

"With that alone, you can fend off a lot of people! Why cut off your nose to spite your face? Let's enjoy the New Year however we want! It's enough if we already did our part and tried our best. If he doesn't cherish it, it'll be his loss. At least we won't regret it, right? By the way, I almost forgot. I heard that there are family rules in the Clements family. The first rule is that a divorce isn't allowed! I figured that since he's willing to promise you a wedding, then you're definitely the only one to him! Let's just present our best side to them. After all, who knows what'll happen in the future?" Alicia said.

Alicia said as she let out a deep sigh.

"Life is short. The experiences of the past few years have only taught me one thing. Cherish the moments and treasure the people around you! Vicki, there are many paths and there is no right or wrong. It's up to you to decide which one to go!" Alicia explained.

After all, she didn't think that bankruptcy could happen overnight. A change of heart was something that could happen in just the blink of an eye. The approach and betrayal of besties could always happen in the matter of minutes.

Similarly, she never thought she would be together with Frederick. It was the same for the death of Aunt Freya and the return of her brother...

Everything could change radically, and there would be joys and sorrows. However, there was always no lack of luck in the midst of suffering. Therefore, at that moment, Alicia still believed in the kindness of the world and believed that God would always leave an open door.

"Alicia, thank you. I'm feeling much better!" Victoria said.

She took another hawthorn from the plate she was carrying. Victoria then said with a smile, "It's sour and sweet. I understand now. Sweet always come after the sour. Although it's late, it tastes even better!"

Right then, she was probably still on the sour part of her journey!

As she sucked on it in her mouth, Victoria seemed to be seeing a glimpse of hope. No matter who would give her the sweetness in the future, she believed that she could wait until that day.

They smiled at each other as Victoria continued, "Let's go back! Grandma's still waiting. It's probably time to start the banquet too!"

"Let's go!" Alicia exclaimed.

They soon returned together. Alicia's words inadvertently enlightened Victoria as her mindset had changed a lot.

On that day, Frederick also received a phone call just when the meal was about to begin. As such, he had to go out. In the end, there were only two male elders left, and they decided to go out together. They had no other choices but to reschedule it for that night. The lunch had turned into a party for the women of the family.

The situation more or less reduced the awkwardness in Victoria as they were much more relaxed.

They had also prepared a reunion party at night. However, due to the absence of the men, the grand lunch at noon was changed into the dinner at the night. At that time, it was a self-serviced barbecue and in the form of a small party. In addition to the members of the Clements family, Norman and Veronica, who were close to them, also came to celebrate the party together!

Everyone was there at night. Victoria didn't feel lonely with the company of her parents.

After toasting them in turn, Victoria returned to her mother's side and chatted with her. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. After a brief moment, her parents-in-law came over and all of them slowly gathered around Mrs. Clements. They all gave their blessings and wished her a long life.

Mrs. Clements held up her glass with a smile on her face.

"Good! Good! Everyone will be blessed and have good fortune in this New Year!" Mrs. Clements exclaimed.

As she looked around, Mrs. Clements suddenly stopped drinking. "Has Trevor not returned yet? Gary..." She asked.

At that moment, Mrs. Clements fixed her eyes on Uncle Gary. Victoria's face suddenly became embarrassed once more. As her parents and parents-in-law were all looking at her, she could only force a smile. When she was at a loss for words, the sound of the brakes from a car suddenly came from the door. She then heard someone shouting.

"Master Trevor has returned!" Someone shouted.

Trevor strode in as he held a bouquet of tulips in his hands. After taking off his coat, he said, "Sorry, I'm late. I shouldn't let you worry about me! Grandma, I wish you a Happy New Year and good health!"
